Help! Is this deal 'Too Good to be True' for LIDGE? Am I missing something?

After surviving on a decant, I'm finally ready to spring for a full bottle of L'instant de Guerlain pour homme Extreme. It's simply an amazing fragrance, albeit not very accessible here in the states. After digging around a little bit trying to find a reasonable price, I ended up stumbling upon a local wholesaler, who does business online, but their warehouse actually happens to be in that same town I live in (which is extremely rare...I mean, what are the chances of that in this great big world?), where I could purchase it. My only concern is, it seems like it's a "too good to be true" price at:

$43 per bottle.

It's a new-in-sealed-box item, and after doing a bit more research, I did determine that it appears to be Guerlains' original packaging for LIDGE (which was updated in 2008), so it makes it of pre-2008 stock.

Is there anything else I'm not thinking of? Has anyone ever heard of being able to purchase LIDGE in this price range? Do you think this is just a rare deal they got their hands on because it's pre-2008 stock? Should I jump on this deal and purchase a couple of bottles, or am I better off playing it "safe", but paying at least twice as much for more current stock? Normally, I don't have a problem making these decisions, but I've just never seen LIDGE for this price, so I guess I'm just confused.

Thanks (in advance) for any help, insight or advice you may be able to offer!

Wow, that's a phenomenal price! Do they have website I could purchase from them? The only thing you have to worry about is that the box was repackaged with a fake product. I've bought an item containing a legitimate box (sealed) only to find out the product was fake. I've never heard of a fake LIDGE though so you should be fine.

Yes, they do...but I have no idea how many they have in stock, so I want to make sure I can secure at least one before I give anyone else the link. (greedy of me, I know...sorry) Once I'm set, I can message you the link.

Yes, they have a 30 day hassle-free return policy and are local, so it shouldn't be a problem if I get it and think something's wrong.

Yeah, I thought that too, but everything seems legit that it's the Extreme version.

Haha, yeah, I'd probably clean them out if I could, but money's tight and there are others I'd like to purchase as well, so the most I'll probably get is 2...but I'll probably just take the great deal and get one.
